Skills are on every plan, including the free one. Plugins, which are bundles of skills, and scheduled tasks need a paid plan.

How the limits work

No plan has a fixed number of messages. Every plan has a limit that resets every 5 hours, and the paid plans also have a weekly limit.

How fast you reach it depends on the model, how long the chat is and how big your files are. One long chat with heavy files uses more than ten short questions. Chat, Cowork, Claude Code and the mobile app all draw from the same pool.

Settings, Usage shows how much you've used and when your limit resets. When you hit it, you can wait, move to a bigger plan or turn on usage credits. Usage credits are on the paid plans: you pay for extra usage at API rates, and you set your own monthly cap.

How to choose

Pro is enough to start. The plan decides how much Claude can get done for you. What the time is for is a decision you make before you pick a plan.

Free, to try Claude out
You can write, search and work with files, and see whether Claude fits the way you work.
Pro, when Claude should handle tasks for you
Background tasks and scheduled tasks need a paid plan. So do Claude in Chrome and Claude Code. The agents in my shop, like the Meta ads agent, need Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise.
Max, when you hit the limit several times a week
When several agents run every day, or you work in long chats with big files. You can move from Pro to Max mid-period, and the time you've already paid for is credited.
Team, when there are several of you
When colleagues need to share projects and skills, and the bill should land in one place.

I'm on Max myself. My morning report, the ads agent and the content agent run in Claude every week, and several of them run at set times.

Start with the workflow you'd most like out of your week. If we build your first system in Claude in a 1:1 session, you'll need at least Pro.
